DELIVERY TIME
Orders shipped within France are usually delivered in less than three business days, once you receive the confirmation email. Indeed, three shipments go out each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Albertine cannot be held responsible for any additional delays. Delivery times in foreign countries depend on your local postal services. Albertine cannot be held liable for poor handling on the part of postal services.
DELIVERY DELAYS / LOSS OF PARCELS
Colissimo is a highly reliable service. However, as with any shipment, there may be a delay in delivery or the product may get lost. In case of late delivery in relation to the date indicated in the shipping email, please report the delay by emailing us a message. We will then contact the French Postal Service to initiate an investigation. Such an investigation may last up to 21 days from the date of its initiation. If during this period, the product is found, it will be re-routed immediately to your home. This is what usually occurs in the majority of cases. If, on the other hand, the package is not found by the end of the 21-day investigation, the French Postal Service shall consider the package as lost. Only then can we send you a replacement product at our expense. If the products ordered that were lost by the carrier are no longer available at that time, we will refund the amount of the products concerned. If the products are still available, but the selling price on the site has changed, we would apply the new sales prices, either by refunding you the difference, or by requesting an additional payment for the price difference. We do not accept any liability for longer delivery times caused by the carrier, especially in case of product loss or labour strikes. An exchange or a refund of the items will only be possible once the postal service completes its inquiry.
